Pullman Square's state of the art 16-screen cinema this week gives filmgoers an opportunity to catch up on many of the newly released nominees for Best Picture of the Year.

"Shape of Water" snagged 13 nominations (14 or more would have tied a record) ranging from Best Picture, Directing and actress and numerou technical and visual awards. Greta Gerwig, director of "Ladybird" , became the fifth woman director to secure a nomination. ( Rachel Morrison became the first woman nominated in the cinematography category for "Mudbound.") "Ladybird" has four additional nominations including best picture, Saoirse Ronan best actress, original screenplay (Gerwig), and Laurie Metcalf best supporting actress.

"Shape of Water" opened last week as did fellow nominee "Call Me by Your Name," which continues along with "The Post" and "Darkest Hour." ("Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri" recently concluded a multi month run.)

Margot ("Suicide Squad," "Wolf of Wall Street") Robbie received a nomination for "I Tonya" and that film also will play at Marquee Pullman 16. On Friday, Jan. 27, it won an "Eddie" (American Cinema Editors) award for best edited comedy feature.

(Other Best Pics nods such as "Dunkirk," and "Get Out" played during the summer.)

"Phantom Thread," another best picture nominee, opened last week at GHTC Park Place Stadium Cinemas.
